THE African side returned to their homeland to a hero’s welcome and have decided to donate their prize money from the summer tournament to poor people in the region.

Algeria’s World Cup squad will donate their bonus money to the people of Gaza, striker Islam Slimani has revealed.

After reaching the second round of the tournament, Algeria were eliminated by Germany after an excellent display, taking Joachim Low’s men into extra time before succumbing to a 2-1 defeat.

The team returned to Algeria as heroes and the players have opted to donate their prize money from the summer tournament to those less fortunate.

“They need it more than us,” Slimani said when asked about why the squad were making the grand gesture.

The revelation comes after Ghana boycotted a training session during the competition following a row with the nation’s FA over bonus money.

The dispute was eventually resolved when the country’s government flew a plane over to Brazil carrying €2.3 million in cash, only for the side to then be eliminated in the group stage.

Nigeria were also embroiled in a cash-related dispute, with players downing tools at training over fears they would not be paid for playing in the tournament, following a similar episode at the Confederations Cup last summer.

President Goodluck Jonathan intervened to assure the players that payment would be made, though that did little to aid their cause as they were knocked out in the last-16 by France.

misleading title... the money was donated to terrorists in gaza, 1967 miles away from Algeria. This was clearly not a gesture to the poor. If they really wanted to help the poor, why ignore the poor in Algeria? Or is gaza now a protectorate of Algeria?

You just yarn nonsense ,, you think say dem be naija artists?

Awesome, use Handkerchief to clean eyes

that is human feeling

This guys have conscience and human sympathy. Donating all their hard earn cash for the world cup period to the needy and poor. These guys are worth emulating, it's obvious this guys are not greedy rather generous ambassadors.

Very good, and our slow mikel and calamity yobo are busy fighting and doing everything to paint our country Nigeria black all because of the same match bonus. Anyway everything don end, yobo don run and slow mikel will rust in bench in chelsea come next season, except he run go club like GODOBODO in kenya 3rd devision

The Algerians play football for the sake of their people, not just for their own selfish interest. Nice one.

Greece did same by donating their bonuses to their nation's sport section.

E go hard for Nigerian players
Representing Nigeria in football nowadays is seen as a way to share of the national cake just like politics. Pathetic! When you see world best star doing all in their power to represent their country!
